Congratulations, you're engaged <br />That didn't take long <br />I guess a few months is all it takes <br />to get over me <br />Wasn't it only weeks ago you <br />looked at me as if I was the <br />only thing in the world <br />You could ever need. <br /> <br />It's all for the best, I know <br />It wasn't meant to be <br />Sometimes at night when I'm alone <br />I can't help but think it could've been me <br /> <br />Congratulations, you're married <br />I heard the wedding was perfect <br />Such a happy couple with <br />all the luck only love can provide <br />I know now after the weeks <br />of tears that it would never work out <br />No need to relish in regret <br />or imagine how I'd look as your wife <br /> <br />Friends tell me the grass is greener <br />It'll all turn out for the best <br />You feel alone and brokenhearted now <br />Sometimes before the blessing you're given a test <br /> <br />Congratulations, you're wife is pregnant <br />I used to picture how perfect our <br />babies would be. But that was so <br />long ago now, it feels like a dream <br />Congratulations on the baby girl <br />I look in her eyes and all I see is you <br />and I try not to cry. She's beautiful. <br />You smile, and so I put on a smile too <br /> <br />Something better will come along <br />One day I'll have my dream come true <br />but there's not a day that passes by <br />that I still wish it could be with you<br /><br />Caroline Guedes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/congratulations-8/
